Not since the days of Maximum Sweat! LOL. For all the nice work they've done with the regular six inch figures now, they still toss out some real shitty ideas (like these ones). I had Maximum Sweat blocked out of my memory. Do you remember the ones that were the wrestlers armed like commandos? Ridiculousness.

Those have to be the worst figures I've seen in years.

I want to set up my PS2 so I can use the network feature on it, but the problem is that it's up stairs in my room and my cable modem isn't. Is there any way to make the PS2 be able to connect without running wires all over the place?

I'm just bored with the whole Eugene/HHH feud.

What about changing our avatar to Randy and the title being "Sensible". I'd be game for that, but I do enjoy your Walton av.

It should be that pic of Randy and then the word "sensible".

I'm liking this thread very much....You know the OAO Raw thread will only be half as cool.

Well, they are called Nile for a reason.... I think it's much more refreshing than the kill/fuck/die/Satan/gore lyrics we get in death metal all the time. It's a little hokey, but then again, so is death metal in general some times. I kind of agree with what both of you said. But the good thing is that there aren't 1,001 other death metal bands that are trying to do the same thing beating you over the head with Egyptian themed lyrics. They've just found their niche. In that same logic, I also like Amon Amarth for the reason that all their songs are about crazy Viking battles and such.

Killing Mr. Drake would be a good way of giving a reason for Timmy to be Robin again, instead of the Spoiler.

I've always dug Zappa.

BLADE: The act of cutting oneself (or by the opponent) so blood is drawn in a discrete manner to make it seem that person is much more injured. JUICE: Hitting an opponent so hard that blood is drawn, usually unintentinally.

Alright...I have three lose ideas: 1. An eighties style promotion. 2. A modern day indie promotion. 3. A ridiculous over the top sports entertainment. Which do you wanna see?

I think that the Sixers will propably take their division. NJ is really going to miss Martin and with Kidd being out till December, Richard Jefferson isn't going to be able to carry the team. Boston doesn't have enough depth, NY is about to implode thanks to its huge assortment of uncomplementing talent, and Toronto is just a joke. The Nets might miss Martin, but Martin will miss the Nets just the same. He's gonna find it's not as easy when he doesn't have the best PG in the league setting him up. I've always found Andre Miller to be a very underrated player, but he's no Jason Kidd. Martin's always been quite overrated, we'll find out this year if he meets up to the hype he gets with a lesser PG. I think Martin's season has a strong case of going down the pooper. I'm glad the Jazz picked Boozer over him.

I guess that would be fair.

Italy wasn't expected to do anything of value, so them getting the Silver was a suprisse. Spain lost thanks to a ref conspiracy against them. Lithuania lost because they didn't have the cool Grateful Dead shirts like they did in 92.

But you can't judge the NBA as a whole based on Team NBA's olympic showing. There are plenty of competent three point shooters in the NBA, it just happened that none of them were on the Olympic team. Look at the top 20 3pt shooters in the NBA. None of them were on that team.

The truth.... No one knows.

Uh, we're going in order dude. Are you even in on this? I don't think he is, but Batista is a pretty solid pick. I was thinking about him for the second round!

What he said. I don't really get all the SFU hate. I mean, there are much better bands to listen to in the death metal subgenre. But there also are much worse.

I kinda noticed that, as well. But in classic Greek art, that chin was used on everyone to represent being a hero/nobility. Maybe Byrne's just classical.

My pick: HHH.

That's a very good point. When in conversation about the US basketball's lackluster performance in the Olympics, I would bring that up. And they would just look at me totally confused and be like, well why couldn't they dunk the ball like MJ.

The NY Post was saying he'd be out till December. Also: Forward Popeye Jones was released by the Golden State Warriors on Friday. The 6-foot-8 Jones played just five games in his only season with the Warriors, who acquired him last summer in a trade with Dallas. Jones tore cartilage in his left knee Nov. 5 and was placed on the injured list a week later, missing 24 games. A 12-year NBA veteran, Jones played for Toronto, Boston, Denver, Washington and two stints with the Mavericks. He averaged 7.0 points and 7.4 rebounds in his career.

I do agree with most of what you said, but the three myths that you pointed out don't necessarily reflect on the league as a whole but moreso to the "superstar" players. Poor shooting percentages, more shooting than passing, and overall sloppiness is a problem with too many of the players that are supposed to be the highlights of the league. • Dwayne Wade was put on the Olympic team because he's supposed to be one of the top up-and-comers in the league. He couldn't shoot from the outside and mostly got points off of drives to the basket. He also had sloppy ball handling. • Allen Iverson is regarded as one of the top players in the league, if not one of the most popular. And we all know how much he likes to share. The same goes for Kobe Bryant. • As for sloppy play, the top ten most turnover prone players include Iverson, Paul Pierce, Lebron, Marbury, and Vince Carter. Those guys are all highlight real players in the league. Those probhlems don't represent the league as a whole, the problem is that the players that wind up becoming marquee names aren't necessarily the best players, and we all saw that with the US team in the olympics. There are great players in the league. Ben Wallace, Ron Artest and Andrei Kirilenko are amazing defenders. Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan play pretty damn near perfect basketball. Baron Davis and Sam Cassell have a good assist/turnover ratio. They are infinitely better players than many of the big names. The problem is that so much of the NBA is style over substance.

That is the only way that I would buy his figure. He's too generic. *hides behind Ced*
